title: Stimulation of mono- and diacylglycerol lipase activities by bradykinin in neural cultures.
abstract: Neural cultures of fetal mouse spinal cord, mouse neuroblastoma (N1E-115) and mixed primary glial cell cultures from neonatal rat brain display measurable activities of mono- and diacylglycerol lipases. Treatment of fetal mouse spinal cord cultures with bradykinin (10 nM) for 1-4 min resulted in a marked increase in specific activities of mono- and diacylglycerol lipases. This is the first direct demonstration that bradykinin can act through the lipase pathway. The increase in activities of lipases was dose and time dependent. The bradykinin response was blocked by [Thi5,8, D-Phe7]bradykinin, a bradykinin B-2 receptor antagonist, indicating that the bradykinin induced stimulation of lipase activities involves bradykinin receptors.
